Sunday 25th March
.
Outside, enjoying the sunshine today
Digging and weeding in the garden
Preparing the ground for bedding plants
A cold Spring had made the soil harden
.
We only have quite a small space
But we like the colour the flowers bring
And pollen for the bees and butterflies
Listening to the songbirds sing
.
You never used to help us out
Staying inside to watch cartoons
But sometimes when it was sunny and bright
You’d pick flowers in the afternoons
.
Petal by petal you’d strip them off
Absorbed in this delicate task
Until only the bare stem remained
Why you did this, we’d always ask
.
Really wish you were back here with us
Taking pleasure in the fresh air
Smiling and laughing, so innocent
But all we have is an empty chair
.
Love you sweetie
Forever and always

You, amongst the flowers
Your brother, not looking too happy
Spring sunshine over the town this morning
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son) 
I don’t want to be outside today as it is pissing down rain outside

Oh dear…. I hope today has been better for you.
It’s been drizzling here all afternoon, and has now turned into more persistent rain.
Welcome spring!

A gorgeously sunny day today. Still not very warm but definitely showing signs of Spring with the promises of beauty ahead.
